Omar Hakim with Rush at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute

This is of Rush's whole performance, 2112 Overture and Working Man with Dave Grohl. As you would expect, straight ahead, hard and awesome Rock n Roll.


But YYZ with Omar Hakim on the drums? Wow! Omar gave that song a groove it's never had before. It was fresh. It was amazing!!!

 

Edit: Viacom got their copyright blockers in full force, and all the "Good" videos are blocked. But here a crowd shot of just YYZ

I was fortunate enough to see Omar Hakim as part of Sting’s band during his 1987 tour.  RPI Field House in Troy, NY.  Max. capacity about 5,000 and I distinctly remember the ticket (decent seat) costing $19.

 

Branford Marsalis and Kenny Kirkland were also in the band. Phenomenal.
